Champagne Œil de Perdrix Brut José Ardinat
The Champagne Œil de Perdrix Brut by José Ardinat is one of the most refined and captivating expressions of the traditional “copper-hued” rosé style of Champagne. Produced in Vandières, in the heart of the Vallée de la Marne, it is made exclusively from 100% Pinot Meunier, the signature grape of the region. With an ultra-low dosage of just 2 g/l and oak aging, José Ardinat has crafted a Champagne that is authentic, distinctive and full of nuances.
In the glass, it displays a mesmerizing hue reminiscent of the eye of a partridge, from which its name derives: salmon pink with amber highlights, luminous and elegant, enhanced by a fine and persistent perlage. The palette of colors ranges from pale pink to salmon, with delicate coppery and brick shades, making it visually enchanting.
The bouquet is expressive and complex: aromas of redcurrants, wild strawberries and citrus blend with notes of ripe apple and red flowers, while subtle smoky and toasted hints from the oak aging provide depth and character.
On the palate, it shows balance and finesse. Medium-bodied, it is supported by vibrant freshness and the chalky minerality typical of the Vallée de la Marne terroirs. The taste is round and delicious, leading into a long and persistent finish with spicy and fruity echoes.
Extremely versatile, the Œil de Perdrix Brut José Ardinat shines both as an aperitif and at the table. It pairs beautifully with sweet-and-savory Asian-inspired dishes, as well as with warm desserts and fresh fruit, while also being an excellent match for raw seafood and delicate cheeses. A classy rosé Champagne, essential for enthusiasts and a revelation for newcomers to the world of Œil de Perdrix.
